For millennia, humans have fermented sugar into alcohol. Now, brewers have taken this process to an extreme by crafting a potent wine entirely from Coca-Cola. Golden Hive Mead has successfully created a unique alcoholic beverage: a mead made with the iconic soda, technically classified as a bochet<\/em> due to the use of caramelized honey. <\/p>\n

The Fermentation Process<\/h3>\n

The creation of Coca-Cola mead is surprisingly straightforward. First, honey is caramelized to develop a rich, smoky flavor profile. Simultaneously, Coca-Cola is poured into a fermentation vessel and stirred thoroughly to eliminate its carbonation. Removing the bubbles is crucial<\/strong> ; carbonic acid interferes with the fermentation process. Yeast is then added to the mixture, initiating a 30-day fermentation period during which it consumes the abundant sugar in the soda and produces alcohol. <\/p>\n

To enhance the final flavor, brewers add toasted oak, vanilla bean, cinnamon, and extra caramelized honey after a couple weeks. These additions compensate for the loss of recognizable Coke flavors during fermentation, resulting in a drink with approximately 10.5% alcohol-by-volume. <\/p>\n

Taste and Potential<\/h3>\n

Taste testers describe the final product as having a “tangy caramel” profile with notes of cinnamon and apple. While more labor-intensive than mixing a simple rum and coke, this experiment demonstrates the versatility of fermentation and the human drive to push boundaries\u2014even in the realm of alcoholic beverages. <\/p>\n
